Pros

The pros are that I have complete responsibiltiy as an Assistant Manager as far as running the store, having keys to the store, everything you can imagine as far as being a manager for a retail store.

Cons

Where do I start. I'm underpaid barely making more than minimal wage, the commission is terrible espcially if you work in a low volume store such as I do. You are still part time and can not work any more than 25 hours a week which means no benifits besides an employee discount which I rarely use since I dont want to give my money back to the company like that. Too much responsibilities expected from you and not being fairly paid enough for what is asked of you.

Pros

Working here puts you right at the center of sneaker, fashion, and youth culture. You get exposure to massive global vendor partnerships (Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Puma) and high-scale enterprise operations that look great on a resume. Solid corporate benefits package including a competitive 401(k) match, health/wellness accounts, and performance-based bonuses or RSUs at leadership levels. Excellent product perks, including an employee discount across all banners (Foot Locker, Champs, Kids Foot Locker). The corporate dress code is casual and sneaker-friendly. Internal Mobility: Because of the massive global corporate footprint, there are clear paths to transition across different departments (Marketing, Supply Chain, Tech, Finance, Merchandising) along with tuition reimbursement opportunities.

Cons

In efforts to streamline costs, optimize the store fleet, and fund digital growth, the company has historically undergone structural realignments, corporate relocations, or localized layoffs, which can impact team morale and workload distribution.
